Other Events

Mondays at 7.30pm: Bible Study at St Francis Church. We begin with prayer then read a passage of scripture out loud.  After a few minutes of private reflection we then share any thoughts we have on the passage, particularly the way it impacts on our lives here, today in Duston.  The concerns raised are then summarised and offered in prayer at the start of our final 10 minutes or so of silent prayer/meditation.  These sessions are open to everyone and you don't need to come along every week.  We will be pleased to see you as and when you are able to join us.  Members from St Luke's and other Duston churches particularly welcome.

Bell ringing, home groups, prayer groups.
